DBA is played on 24" x 24" battlefield... and various bits of scenery are needed... I've been making various bits over the last few months. I've made two MDF boards - one for Desert, and one for all other battles.
24 x 24 MDF Board... covered with PVA glue and sand... and dry brushed with cheap tester pots of house paint... |
PLOUGHED FIELDS... house filler on MDF boards covered in PVA and sand, then painted... |
MARSH... polystyrene pizza base, PVA and sand... plus some resin water effect and a few basing tufts... |
ROAD.... 3 x 8" straight pieces of thin MDF, PVA and sand... and painted to look like roads.. |
RIVER... 3 x 8" pieces of thin MDF... sand and PVA just along the edges and painted to look like a river... |
A RIVER / ROAD crossing place - I made one of these 8" x 8" sections with a bridge from Leven miniatures... |
WATERWAY - 2 x 12" pieces of thin MDF, with PVA and sand beach/edge... |
A selection of HILLS - Pizza bases with PVA and Sand... |
I made a few plain one level bases like the hills - to put different removable items on to represent different things - here we have a stone circle EDIFACE for the Ancient British. |
WOODS with removable trees.. |
SCRUB - small pieces of green scouring pads chopped up and covered in PVA before painting... |
A FORT for the Ancient British. Huts from Leven Miniatures... fencing from coffee stirrers. |
A CITY for the Romans. Buildings from Leven Miniatures... wall and gatehouse made from thick cardboard. |
A FORT for the Romans. Tents from Leven Miniatures. Coffee stirrer fences... |
